In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, learners explore healthy choices related to the liquids they drink. The importance of water and milk as essential nutrients for a healthy body is the focus of the experience.

In this activity, learners explore in what ways the shape of the land and the pull of gravity influence how water moves over Earth.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

In this activity, learners will explore how water affects marker on filter paper. Learners will use science process skills such as making observations and predictions as they explore color.
